How much longer can they continue to blame this scandal on Privates...

[kentuck]

and Sergeants? It has disgraced us around the world and nobody wants to take resposnibility for it. And now we find it was not an isolaed incident at Abu Graib. More horrendous and mind-numbing incidents have been exposed at the Baghdad Airport prison or "BIF". They are so sickening that no sane American can look at them and not be totally disgusted. Yet, they continue to say it was the actions of a few. Well, who was in charge of those "few"? This should never have been allowed to happen. Someone should have known what is happening under their command.

Now, all they can say is that we need to get over these photos and let our troops continue to fight this war. Well, this war about our morals and what kind of country we are is a more important "war" than George w Bush's little war in Iraq. This is a war for our soul.

1. Look at this..

I grabbed this from the transcript from Hardball last night with N. GEORGE ALLEN ®, VIRGINIA notice the bold!

MATTHEWS: Why do you say—how do you know it is an isolated situation?

ALLEN: Because, if you look at what the command and the requirements are, it seems to me that if there are any of these things going on, they are an aberration.

(CROSSTALK)

MATTHEWS: Senator, do you believe that individual people from Virginia, from Maryland who have been accused here, bought dog collars, bought leashes, bought hoods and brought them over to Iraq with them, or do you think they were issued by the military intelligence people over there? Who is responsible for this whole line of questioning with these people the way they have been stripped and shackled?

Are you saying a couple country folk from Virginia and Western Maryland came up with these ideas and these implements of torture?

ALLEN: I think that that all is being investigated, who is culpable.

MATTHEWS: But does common sense tell you that they brought the dog collars and the leashes with them?

ALLEN: It wouldn‘t make common sense to me, no. I don‘t know where they got them. I suppose they have stores there.

But the point of the matter is, we are in a war against terrorism.

So they went to the store and bought all of the torture items????? My husband and I laughed for along time at that stupid remark!

5. One would have to be very stupid

or totally ignorant, to believe that only a few people are responsible for what happened in Abu Ghraib. Can I also say that it makes me laugh every time somebody says "this is un-American." Every country has good and bad people.
